Psychotherapy/Counseling
Healing Through Integration
Resolving Trauma
Trauma may be the BIG things - accidents, crime, combat physical and sexual abuse - or it may be smaller but equally debilitating things - like growing up with an alcoholic parent, facing constant criticism, or feeling like you didn't fit in. Trauma results whenever we feel helpless.
I use many powerful tools to help you access and release the pain of the trauma, and to integrate parts of the self that may have been displaced or disowned, resulting in a sense of integration and freedom. I use a powerful, proven technique known as EMDR, which is successful in treating
- phobias
- anxiety
- panic disorders
- low self esteem
- symptoms of physical and sexual abuse
- thoughts that won't go away
- negative beliefs
- performance anxiety
The best part of EMDR is how quickly it works. It is common for symptoms to be alleviated in one to three sessions. It has a success rate of over 85%.
Relationships Not Working?
If you're...
- having difficulty getting over a past love
- trying to make a relationship work
- wanting out of your relationship yet feeling "stuck"
- or struggling to meet that special someone
Then you've come to the right website. I offer a safe place to sort out confusion and gain clarity. Action oriented techniques are used to empower you to make the changes that fulfill your heart's longing. You may learn to let go of habits that get in your way, to communicate honestly and authentically, to cope with conflict in a more productive way, to set limits with integrity, and to generate and receive love and support.
Bless your difficulties and ask to see their hidden guidance.

Children, Adolescents and Families
It is not easy being a parent, and it's not easy being a child. The demands on parenting and children are plentiful given our current lifestyles. Tension and conflict can occur in the home, restricting the flow of love, harmony and positive support.
I work with parents in setting limits with love, how to redirect children's behaviors, and how to nurture and bring out the best qualities in children. I have worked with children and adolescents for 20 years, and have helped children and their families with
- Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder
- Oppositional and defiant Disorder
- Depression
- Pervasive Developmental Disorders
- School Phobias
- Physical Disabilities
- Symptoms of Abuse
I use a strength based and skill building approach, creative art therapy techniques and play therapy when clinically needed.
You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth. The archer sees the mark upon the path of the infinite, and he bends you with his might that his arrows may go swift and far.

Feeling Unmotivated, Stuck or that You're Not Living Up to Your Full Potential?
- Do you want to start a new business, change careers, take on a new challenge, get in touch with your life purpose, or just change the direction of your life?
- Do you procrastinate, feel stuck, scared, confused or unsure about what steps to take next?
- Are you having difficulty moving forward and getting through barriers and self limiting beliefs?
- Do you beat yourself up?
Life Coaching is a great way to get clear about what motivates you (and what doesn't). Many of us need help in clarifying what we really want in life, being committed to what we want, and taking steps towards getting what we want.
With those goals in mind we can:
- identify individual steps to take
- set timelines
- and you begin taking action to create the life that you want
Coaching is a great way to bridge life challenges. The loss of a loved one, a lay off, a divorce, moving to a new city, having a child or launching your kids into adulthood all offer opportunities to re-envision yourself and your life.
A Man who has a vision is not able to use the power of it until after he has performed the vision on earth for people to see.
